I am super pumped to be one of the Verizon Wireless ambassadors of the south!!! Why does the word ambassador sound so official, like I have to represent for the USA! I have never been on the Verizon network so I am happy to give it a run! The Verizon reps keep all the ambassadors staring out the window waiting for the delivery man so we could find out what phone we were getting!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was pretty busy as I prepare to head to NYC for BlogHer this week! Just a few more days!

Sunday, I was super honored to be a judge in for the Yummy Spoonfuls next Yummy Baby competition. My ovaries went into to overdrive seeing all these cute babies! I brought Mister and Peyton along! I will recap all the cuteness soon!

OMG! In one week I will be in New York City attending BlogHer!!! Super excited! Since Suakoko Betty is dressing me for the special events, putting together my outfits has been pretty easy. But what about SHOES?

ATLANTA-The Show Me the Way foundation and African Pride Dream Kids are excited to welcome music royalty to the 2012 Runway Red: Wonderland Safari charity kids fashion show. The event is set to take over ZOO Atlanta located at 800 Cherokee Avenue SE, Atlanta, GA 30315 at 7pm on Saturday, August 11, 2012. International superstar Akon's sons will walk the runway along with the children of hip hop's king of the south TI. Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield's little one's will participate and Chilli from TLC's son will return for a repeat performance.

I attended the Runway Red Fashion Show last year and it was OFF THE CHAIN! See my recap HERE! Better then most adult shows that I have attended! I hope Peyton will be able to rip the runway next year : ).
If you live in the Atlanta you must attend this show! Plus it is for a great cause supporting Show Me the Way Foundation! For tickets and more information click HERE.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I went to an event on Friday night and ended up feeling horrible on Saturday! I just can't get down like I used to! Sunday I managed to get out of the house to head to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Of course I took Peyton with me.

Hey Ladies! Got another great giveaway for you! Shabby Apple is giving one lucky Baby Shopaholic reader a $50 gift card! Shabby Apple is a boutique with vintage-inspired clothes! Here are a few of my favorites!

One of the best sale of the year starts on July 20th! It is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The reason it is one of the best is because it sale where Nordstrom brings out NEW fall items before they are available in most stores at almost half off! Awesome huh! I could not link the items because they were only available for early access reward members (that sounds snooty! LOL)

Look at that baby doll! She looks like she is ready to get into stuff! Man she looks like Jay!

Beyonce is looking gorgeous at usual with the box braids. I know everyone is rocking the box braids trends but I don't know if I am down with the Poetic Justice look. But Bey does make me want to reconsider the look! Fabulous!

Who do you think Blue Ivy looks like now? Do you like Beyonce in the braids?

You guys saw Peyton's Berry Sweet Birthday outfit with the wonderful skirt from Giavanna's Closet and her blinged out Chuck Taylors! I think every little girl should have a pair of blinged out shoes! When I decided that I wanted her to have some chucks I checked out Etsy to find a seller only to find out they cost about $80-$100. No Ma'am! So the jewelry maker in me set out to make my own. Pretty easy but just takes time.

The great team at Kids Headquarters (manufacture for kids brands for Calvin Klein, Paul Frank, Hurley, Kenneth Cole just to name a few) sent Peyton the cutest little warm up suit from Under Armour's new kids line.

I am headed to BlogHer in NYC in August! So you know I gotta get my Carrie Bradshaw on! I am ecstatic to announce that I will be rocking Suakoko Betty! Suakoko Betty (pronounced SWAH-ko-ko) specializes in using African inspired prints with contemporary designs! I don't know if you remember but I started stalking, obsessing falling in love with Suakoko Betty after meeting the designer Charlene at a fashion show earlier this year!

Launched in 2007, suakoko betty (pronounced SWAH-ko-ko) transforms authentic West African wax and resist-dye prints into dresses and separates that are flattering and current.

We celebrated Peyton's 2nd Birthday on Saturday! Thank you guys for all the birthday wishes! She had a blast! I will share pics from her party soon. Here is a quick look at what she wore on Thursday out with me running errands for the party.

Peyton with her Baby Alive doll. Peyton is wearing a dress from the Carters store. It was $7!

I just love these soft neon colors.

Were you on vacation last week? Did you go anywhere special? I felt like I was the only person working!

Peyton received this cute active swimwear from GrUVy Wear! As hot as it has been in Atlanta we need it!

GrUVy Wear specializes in protective swim wear that offers a UPF of 50+, blocking over 98% of the sun's harmful rays.

No matter the color of your skin you need to be protected from harmful rays! UV rays can cause sunburn, aging and of course cancer! Kids have to be protected from the UV rays at birth! Most damage is done before kids reach 18 years old! I think GrUVy Wear is a great product for kids to wear especially if they are outside for an extended period of time. This a great option for the water park, boating, and jet skiing.

Ready to go mom!

Peyton in her hang ten pose!

Here are some other Sun Safety Tips:

The sun is at it's strongest between 10am - 4pm. Try to seek shade during these times

Happy July!!! Hope you guys had a great weekend! It has literally been HOTLANTA this weekend! It was hotter than Satan's Breath! LOL! Got that from Andrea from Hollywood Exes. She is hilarious! But for real, it was a record breaking 106 all weekend!

On Sunday we managed to make it to church on Sunday. But this little sweetie pie of mine needed a nap because she was hitting people around us with the fans they pass out, running, and yelling "COOOKIEE!" At least she looked cute in the process.
